Leading the Way Forward

MERMEC proudly announces a pioneering talk with business and institutional leaders shaping the future of innovation and research in the transportation industry. Within the 11th WCRR setting, the World Congress on Railway Research, Hyperloop One and Transpod will eradicate any doubts on the “Fifth mode of transportation” (as said by Elon Musk) and how to reach 1200 km/h for human-safe travels.

May 30, 2016

Milan - May 30, 2016 – We are pleased to announce the special event "Leading the Way Forward" will be held on May 30, 7:00 pm at the WCRR 2016 Congress Venue Auditorium. We specifically chose WCRR as the perfect stage to promote the groundbreaking Hyperloop project that involves both long-term vision and the near future.

We, at MERMEC, believe the only way to envision the future is to build it with facts. A pioneering talk to free our imagination on the opened possibilities and to outline the boundaries of the future, tangible scenarios.

The CEOs of Hyperloop One, Transpod, Italian Railways and MERMEC, together with Italian Minister of Research, Universities and Education, will discuss the future of innovation and research in the transportation industry.

Follow us on LinkedIn and Twitter to get updates of the live streaming session of the event.

MERMEC is the Platinum sponsor of the 11th World Congress on Railway Research (www.WCRR2016.org) to highlight the crucial importance that research has for the development of the high tech solutions and will contribute to the pioneering research presenting eight technical papers pushing forward the boundaries of innovation.

MERMEC will also open the innovation’s doors with special guided tours on the cutting-edge Measuring Trains developed for the Italian Railways: “Diamante”, the High-Speed Measuring Train, “Caronte”, the measuring vehicle for signalling and TLC networks.

Come together and join us at "Leading the Way Forward".
